FEDERAL XM80C 7.62x51mm NATO. / .308 Winchester. 149 Grain, FMJ. 20 Round Box.

Federal XM80C Ammo is manufactured at the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant operated by ATK. XM80C mil-spec product is brand new, brass-cased, boxer-primed, non-corrosive, and reloadable. This is top of the line, American-made target and range ammo suitable for all purposes.

Note: This product contains steel in the projectile as it is made to military specifications. Additionally, this brass is manufactured on mil-spec production lines which require evidence of the annealing process be left on the brass near the neck of the casing. This is the darker residue that is visually noticeable around the case neck. Both commercial and mil-spec brass undergoes this same annealing process which make the brass stronger and less brittle. The annealing process essentially runs the brass through a series of flames which heat the brass having the affect of re-strengthening it in its final shape. Commercial brass is then re-cleaned after it has been annealed to make it cosmetically more appealing for the commercial market. Military requirements on the other hand place a larger emphasis on the structural integrity of the casing so they require that evidence that the brass has been annealed remain on the brass.

Made in USA.
